Lenovo 4XH7A87068 SR650 V3 7MM Sata/nvme Non-raid KIT

Lenovo 4XH7A87068 SR650 V3 7mm SATA/NVMe Non-RAID Drive Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4XH7A87068 is a 7mm SATA/NVMe non-RAID drive kit designed for the ThinkSystem SR650 V3 rack server. It enables direct SATA or NVMe storage attachment without a RAID controller in the data path — the right configuration for deployments running software-defined storage, hypervisor-native disk management (vSAN, Storage Spaces Direct), or workloads that require per-drive visibility rather than abstracted RAID volumes. Sourced factory-new, the 4XH7A87068 ships as a genuine Lenovo option kit matched to the SR650 V3 platform.

Compatibility

This kit is designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3 server. The 7mm drive height requirement means it is not interchangeable with standard 15mm SFF or LFF backplane configurations. Verify your SR650 V3 chassis bay assignment and backplane slot before ordering — the SR650 V3 supports multiple storage configuration paths and not all bays accept the 7mm non-RAID option kit. Compatible with both SATA and NVMe drive protocols, giving you flexibility to populate with SSDs across either interface depending on workload I/O requirements. For NVMe deployments in network video recorders or edge compute nodes built on SR650 V3 infrastructure, this kit eliminates the RAID controller overhead and latency that can affect sustained sequential write performance in high-channel video recording environments. If you are building a server storage configuration that requires hardware RAID, this is not the correct kit — pair a ThinkSystem RAID adapter instead.

Installation Notes

The kit weighs 10.00 lb, which is consistent with a backplane assembly rather than a drive-only accessory — confirm rack load ratings when populating a fully-configured SR650 V3. Country of origin is Mexico. Installation follows standard Lenovo ThinkSystem tool-less drive bay procedures; consult the SR650 V3 Hardware Maintenance Guide for backplane seating and cable routing specific to the 7mm non-RAID configuration.
